EP41 - Economics, elections, and the art of evading doom loops
17 Oct 2024
Co-host Cole Perry, shares insights he gained from the recent NAIOP CRE.Converge and Groceryshop conference. Discussion then turns to economic indicators covering NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, labor market, and the potential impact on inflation from the latest CPI and PPI releases. With US elections looming, Omar and Cole also touch on potential implications for CRE.
The team then welcomes special guest Sandi Prendergast, from Altus Group’s Tax Research team. Together, they dig into property tax with a deep dive into the complicated world of 'doom loops'. Sandi helps to unravel what doom loops are, how they can affect both CRE property owners and the local community, and how state and municipal governments can avoid them.
